APEX 5.1 IG toolbar customization

APEX 5.1 IG customization

Hacking APEX Interactive grid

IG toolbar custom configuration changes

APEX 5.1 brought us some cool features and among all the mighty interactive grid.After a day or so working on a project client ideas come into the play.

This is where these customization tips might be of help.

Idea here is: you want to use IG but want to be able to control what will be available to the users in terms of toolbar items and menus. APEX by default offers an ability to turn the toolbar on and off but sometimes this might not be enough.

In an image below you see how standard look and feel of your IG toolbar looks like. You have a section to filter column followed by Actions menu button then Edit, Save and Add Row buttons.

What if I only want to use Save and/or Add Row or any combination that you suits you.

Again I can not emphasize how helpful was John Snyders blog to understand IG inside out sothank you John.

If you read through John's blog you will pick up all necessary details for you to be able to construct your own IG toolbar.

Great idea, works fine except for one vicious side-effect if you use the above code as is: users can no longer save and have Public reports displayed!Run the page, then Actions -> Reports -> Save AsI would be extremely grateful if you could post a solution.Dr. RJT
